Why can't I escape my past
It ain't helping me and you last
I tried running rather then face my fears
That's got your eyes letting out tears
Don't you understand that what I told you
Was the hardest thing for me to ever do

One mistake was all it took
And you closed me like an old book
I never felt right again after you went away
All because I didn't know what to say

I asked you to have faith, keep trying
Maybe one day soon you can stop crying

I can't escape my past
It ain't helping me and you last
I tried running rather then face my fears
That's got your eyes letting out tears
Don't you understand that what I told you
Was the hardest thing for me to do

You're the main reason I got sober
So together you and I could grow closer
It wasn't for anyone except her
Nobody except for her

I asked you to have faith, keep trying
Maybe one day soon you can stop crying

I can no longer escape my past
It caught up to me way to fast
It took you into into its abyss
Cause it knew without you I'd lose my bliss
